Can I have the nest box level with the coup floor?

The coup is about 450 centimetres off the ground. Should I put the nest boxes up a bit, or is this not necessary? Thanks!

OK, I live the USA where we still measure everything the hard way in feet and inches, but isn't 450 centimeters something like 15 feet high!?

Actually that was a mistake, it's 50 centimetres off the ground.

I have a cube of nine buckets. Three row of three. The bottom row sits on floor and has 2x4 as lip to keep bedding inside. The middle row is stacked directly above but has a 2x4 walk way over hang and 2x4 lip. The top row is set back 8 inches with 2 2x4 walk way 2x 4 lip. A couple use the bottom center, and a couple use the middle, but everyone else uses the three on top. I don't have full pictures, but here's what I have.
